Did you shop your mortgage?

Did you get several different quotes for your mortgage and then compared all of the numbers?

Probably not.

A LendingTree.com survey says that just 40 percent of homebuyers shopped their mortgage. Which helps explain why only 28 percent are confident they got the best deal.

“Choosing a mortgage is probably the most important financial decision most of us will ever make, yet many consumers simply take the first offer that comes their way,” said LendingTree CEO Doug Lebda, in a news release.

Naturally LendingTree thinks you should price shop with it.

But shopping around is a good idea no matter how you approach it.

The survey also found that 10 percent spent less time looking for a mortgage shop than it takes to brush their teeth.
